D&D Errata Nerfs Conjuring Spells, Makes Other Changes

dnd-asterik-1234066 (1).jpeg

A new errata for Dungeons & Dragons' revised 5th Edition has provided a significant nerf to conjuring spells and provided some clarity on how the Hide action works within the game. Wizards of the Coast released a new errata for its various D&D Core Rulebooks today, with a host of mostly minor changes to the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual. Two of the biggest changes came to the Player's Handbook, with various conjuring spells receiving a notable debuff to upcasting, and the Hidden rules receiving a round of clarifications.

The Conjure Elemental, Conjure Fey, Conjure Minor Elementals, and Conjure Woodland Beings spells all received debuffs to their "Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot" sections, with the amount of increased damage decreasing from 2 attack die of a certain size to 1 attack die of a certain size. Several shapeshifting spells that granted temporary hit points now clarify that those temporary hit points go away once a spell is cast.

Additionally, the Hidden rules now explicitly state that the Hide action grants the Invisible condition "while hidden" and states what ends a player character hiding, which includes an enemy finding you via a Perception check. The Hide action received some notice during the initial Player's Handbook release for some alleged loopholes in the rules.

A full list of errata can be found on D&D Beyond.

Or maybe the Sorcerer player isn't that interested in combat.


There's no maybe about it. I am saying she isn't interested in it, but gets us into combat often anyway.

Sounds like she has a very powerful character during social encounters, more so then yours, and enjoys using that power during such encounters.

Naw. I am saying the player shines in social encounters. Her PC is fine at it but I am not talking about rolls.

Hopefully, the DM will occasionally let her use her social 'power' to win an encounter without any of that pesky combat stuff.

I didn't call combat pesky. I didn't say or imply what you appear to be inferring. I am saying combat happens (I am not instigating it, we're in a mega dungeon and it does happen whether we like it or not).

Am I the only one who missed the clean pdf style errata that you could download and then print up to add to the back of your book for easy reference? I truly detest the layout and design of D&D Beyonds website.

Anyone have a possible link on the D&D Beyond website that has a download instead of the crappy changelog?
 



"A grappled creature can attempt to continue the grapple with a successful Athletics check if the grappler chooses to release the grapple."
Why does being grappled give the victim free actions?

I agree with @mellored that this is a "stop-motion" problem. Within that framework, the solution would seem to be something like readying an action to re-initiate the grapple if the grappler tries to end it.
 

I noticed the poison sting of the pseudodragon was buffed. And it is still unclear if it counts as an attack.

I don't know how someone can think that having an at will abilit that renders unconscious for 1 hour is balanced in any way... Con DC 12 is about a 50% chance for quite some levels.

Failing by 5 for unconaciousness at least made it halfway ok.
I think I'll add an attack roll there.
:/

There are links to the errata pdfs in the changelog.
